Chi ĆØ Ringo Starr
As The Beatlesā resident court jester, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, on July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England) was initially known as much for his jokes as his drumming, shooting off one-liners to the press as effortlessly as he triggered the rapid-fire tom-tom rolls that open āShe Loves You.ā And his rare lead-vocal turnsāwhether the droll reading of Buck Owensā country standard āAct Naturallyā or the kid-friendly fantasia of āYellow Submarineāāonly amplified that playful personality. But as The Beatles transitioned from teen idols to experimental artists, Ringoās backbeats formed the rock-solid foundation from which John Lennon leapt into psychedelic surrealism, Paul McCartney built his cinematic art-pop suites, and George Harrison explored Eastern mysticism. Whenever you hear a rock band described as āBeatlesque,ā theyāre often emulating one of Ringoās bouncing-ball grooves; artists like the Beastie Boys and The Chemical Brothers retrofitted his most booming breaks for the rap/rave age. While Ringo may have continued to cultivate the image of jovial entertainer in his solo work, thereās still so much more complexity behind his humor. He uses it as a balm on the 1973 hard life lesson āIt Donāt Come Easy,ā which he cowrote with Harrison, and he gives voice to Lennonās bitingly sardonic lyrics on āGoodnight Viennaā and āIām the Greatest.ā
